I'm a southern girl living my dream in the PNW with my family of all boys. I love the color yellow, fresh picked berries, outdoor adventures, and summertime. I've been doing this photography thing for over 10 years.

This is the second year in a row that when my mom was visiting from Texas we got incredible weather at the coast IN FEBRUARY. It was a fun little day trip with just the boys, myself and my mom. I even got a chance to drone a bit! Of course it was MY kid […]

Do you like to support local businesses? I sure love my big box stores when it’s necessary, but it also feels so good to support my local small business or even fellow small businesses/entrepreneurs that aren’t local – that have online shops!

They’ll quickly learn that baby is more interested in the box that someone else’s gift came in rather than the actual toy/gift. Hah- am I right?!
